In this issue we're featuring CORE, which offers a seamless access to millions of open access
research papers, enriches the collected data for text-mining and provides unique services to the research community.

Issue 7 (2016)

In this issue we're featuring Open University's MK:Smart project, which is developing innovative
solutions to support economic growth in Milton Keynes. The project is supported by a large team in KMi including researchers, developers, IT and admin support staff who work in conjunction with colleagues in Computing.

Issue 6 (2016)

In this issue we're featuring KMi's Stadium Live project, which is investigating how live webcasts can be made more interactive through the use of audience participation widgets.
